01 — Local-first

Your client data stays where you saved it.

Every genogram and ecomap is a real file in your Documents folder. Back it up to your own Time Machine, sync it through your own iCloud, version it in git if you want. The app doesn’t upload anything by default.

  • Plaintext JSON in your Documents

    .genogram.json and .ecomap.json files you can open, archive, or move between machines without our app installed

  • No-network editing

    Open, edit, save — fully offline. License re-verifies next time you have signal

  • Clinical Mode strips PHI before any AI call

    On the Clinical plan only, AI features deidentify client names + locations client-side before a single byte leaves your machine

Desktop or web?

Both run on the same backend. The desktop app exists for clinicians who can’t use cloud-based tools at all.

07 — FAQ

Frequently asked

Is the desktop app free?+
The download is free. To use it you need an active Pro or Clinical plan — same subscription that unlocks the web app.
Does it really work offline?+
Yes, after you've signed in once. The license is cached locally (AES-256-CBC, machine-locked). You can keep building genograms and ecomaps for days without internet; the license re-verifies the next time you're online.
Does my client data leave my Mac?+
No — not by default. All files live in ~/Documents/GenogramAI/ and are never uploaded. AI features (Clinical plan only on desktop) optionally send de-identified prompts to our model proxy; in Clinical Mode, identifying info is stripped client-side before a single request leaves your machine.
When will Windows be available?+
On the roadmap. macOS first because that's where our clinician audience asked loudest. Subscribe to release notifications on GitHub.
What if I'm on an older Intel Mac?+
Intel build is available — both architectures are signed and notarized. The download page auto-detects your machine. If you want the other arch manually, both are linked side-by-side on the GitHub releases page.

Ready when you are.

Free download. Works with your existing Pro or Clinical subscription.
